Its a New Life

First Off I have to say Thank You to my Mom!! With Jim being gone; If I did not have here with me through the birth and after having my baby Tucker I don't know how I would have managed. Makes me appreciate here as my mother so much more now going through all of that and now being a mom myself. So Thank you Mom and all the other moms out there. also thank you Bub for coming out and helping as well!

To Say the least recovery was hard for me. A C-Section in its self is hard recovery but I had a bad reaction to some of the tubing I had so I was extra swollen and painful my pain med.s didn't work to great they had to change them to help so I could move. But, even with the first couple days at the hospital having lots of pain having my baby boy in my arms was joyous. Learning to nurse came natural and such a bonding experience. There was time Mom would say its ok to put him down you need your rest. I just wanted to hold and love on him.
Jim left on friday with out us getting to really say goodbye :( and that same day we were able to go home from the hospital. It felt so good to be in my own bed, take a shower, and eat real food! A routine was getting set between Tucker me and my mom. sleep eat change  diaper ,sleep eat change diaper. We were loving every minute. Was sad to have Jim miss that first week of Tucker being home even though he slept most of the time, it was a special bonding time. At least Jim was able to call everyday and say hi and check his facebook to see pictures we were constantly taking.

Our first outing! We went to babies r us for a few things. 

almost a week old!

Tucker always sleeps with his arms out. so relaxed.

The real part came when Grrmom and Papa left to go home. They left and Jim came home our whole routine had to change. Jim was only home for three days before going back to work. It was hard to take care of Tucker, try to recover, and keep up the apartment all at once. I was trying to be super Mom/Wife, which came down on me all at once I realized I needed to slow down and just enjoy the time we had together as our new little family. In a few weeks my Dad and sister were coming out to visit we couldn't wait!!!
